Perfect?

[Intro (Johnny Moran)]
"Maybe it just feels like... nice... to have attention!"

[Verse 1]
Oh, I wish that I was someone special
Wish I had lovers lined up around the block cause they just can't leave me alone
Oh, here I go being emotional
But what's a boy to do when life's a bitch that left you in a world so cold

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm at war with the man in the mirror
He makes my flaws seem bigger
Til I drive myself crazy with self doubt
Got stupid insecurities on my sleeve now
They're starting to bleed out
But God forbid a man lets his guard down

[Chorus]
Oh, why can't I be perfect?
Ohoh, as long as I live I'll be trying (to be perfect, to be perfect)
Oh, why can't I be perfect?
Ohoh, as long as I live I'll be trying (to be perfect, to be perfect)

[Verse 2]
Oh, I wish I had a cookie cutter life
Cause all of my friends have all their shit together, while time is passing me by
Oh, I just wanna feel good enough
But I'm so dramatic and complicated
Don't wanna be that guy that's holding up the wall at the party
Cause depression is my only friend

[Chorus]
Oh, why can't I be perfect?
Ohoh, as long as I live I'll be trying (to be perfect, to be perfect)
I said oh, why can't I be perfect?
Ohoh, as long as I live I'll be trying (to be perfect, to be perfect)

[Vamp]
Way oh oh oh oh
Way oh oh oh oh
Way oh oh oh oh
Way oh oh oh oh x2

[Bridge]
I'm a mess
Trying my hardest
To be greater than second best
But I'm still a work in progress
I'm a mess
With a perfection complex
Trying to do what my therapist says
So sick of hating myself x2

[Chorus]
Oh, why can't I be perfect?
Ohoh, as long as I live I'll be trying (to be perfect, to be perfect)
I said oh, why can't I be perfect?
Ohoh, as long as I live I'll be trying (to be perfect, to be perfect)

[Vamp]
Way oh oh oh oh
Way oh oh oh oh
Way oh oh oh oh
Way oh oh oh oh x2

[Outro (Alina Martinez)]
“No no she doesn't love you, she was talking about your hair before.”
